Remove Filter  | Sorry for the downtime earlier today ... I'm working behind the scenes on merging all of Dazah functionality *into* DaniWeb. This means starting out by getting them both on the exact same infrastructure. Dazah has a lot of security benefits over DaniWeb, so I'm currently working on doing a lot …  |
| | Are there any scripts that can go through a collection of PHP files and detect multiple functions with the same name?  |
| | I want to focus a lot on developing new features for DaniWeb, and getting us back to our former glory. However, a lot of doing that requires the community's investment and involvement in Dazah. Who out here in Internet land has any interest in building a Dazah app? If no, … |

| | I was attempting to store chat logs in a MySQL database where the message field is utf8_general_ci However, when it came across an emoji, it would choke, and the message field would only include text up to the emoji character. I changed the message field to be utf8mb4_general_ci, which seemed …  |
| | Has anyone had a positive experience with the new AdSense auto ads? They say they use machine learning to find the optimal placement for ads on your page, but they don't show any examples. How much faith can/should I put in their placement AI? |
| | What do you think of the new GWT interface?? Seems to me as if they released it too prematurely. Half the features don't work and the sidebar navigation literally just says Coming Soon. |
| | I have a late 2016 MacBook Pro running the latest version of OS X Sierra 10.12.6 Ever since I got it, I've been having a problem connecting it to external displays. Firstly, there is the 32" 4K Seiki Pro, connected via a USB-C cable. Most times when the Mac goes … |
| | Has anyone played around with the AdSense ad balance setting? Notice any changes or improvements? |
| | I just noticed yesterday that FB Messenger ate my asterisks. Today, I just noticed that it was actually parsing my asterisks into bold! And it parses Markdown's syntax for italics too! I swear this is new. Try sending someone a message with Facebook and you can do: `*bold* or _italics_` … |
| | I was up working on SEO until 5 am last night, and now it's 4:30 and I'm coding away. Does anyone have any good tips to help with insomnia? I tend to work late into the evenings, and I get such an adrenaline rush from coding (I'm a nerd, I …  |
| | I haven't logged into my AdWords campaign in awhile and now there's a new interface and I can't figure out where anything is?!! Not to mention ... I forget how I set up Target ROAS bidding a bunch of months ago and now I can't figure out where to change …  |
| | PM notifications are now handled by Dazah. This means the notifications themselves will be originating from Dazah instead of from DaniWeb. The benefit of this is that you can go into your Dazah settings and configure whether you would like to receive instant notifications, a daily digest, or suppress notifications. … |
| | Can I do the following? function foo(&$a) { $a += 2; } foo($bar = 5); // Desired Outcome: // $bar = 7 In other words, can I pass an assignment by reference and have the desired outcome? (Yes, I know that I could do the test myself, but I'm working … |
| | I just got a Macbook and I've always had a PC when it comes to doing worky stuff. (For many years I had an iMac at home, Dell at work, and I haven't had a mac at all for the past 4 years). First I had a problem installing Zend … |
| | I have a one day old Macbook Pro. I tried to install PHP Zend Studio (which is what I use to code in). Everytime I try to run it for the first time after dragging and dropping it into the Applications folder, it crashes and this is what I get: … |
| | Sorry for my absense. I've been sick since late March. What started as a bad cold turned into bronchitis, and is on its way to walking pneumonia. :( I'm on a cocktail of so many different cough syrups I'm awake maybe 4 hours a day. |
| | I just signed up for Comcast for an apartment I'm renting in California. (Yes, I'm bicoastal now ... I own my place in NYC and I rent here in downtown Palo Alto.) Either way, I went to the Comcast store and got a little self-install kit that comes complete with … |
| | Looks like Dmoz is shutting its doors for good. Who is going to miss the open source directory project aka Google Directory? Being listed in there used to be awesome for SEO!! I wonder if I'm going to lose the backlinks now.  |
| | DaniWeb's editor now has a fullscreen mode. Click the icon in the editor toolbar (or press F11) to enter fullscreen mode. ESC and F11 will both exit fullscreen. |
| | How come when I make a big change to my AdWords campaign, suddenly there's a *huge* spike in my Google organic traffic for the next half hour or so?  |
| | Which of the following is the most intuitive? Which heading would encourage you to sign up (taking into consideration you arrived at this page upon attempting to join DaniWeb and were redirected, and this page is hosted on dazah.com and has a Dazah branded UI). * Sign Up for Dazah: …  |
| | Is there an easy way to modify Twitter Bootstrap so that all of its responsive columns work based off of the device-width as opposed to responding to the dimensions of the browser window? |
| | [i]I found this in a few different places around the 'net - hopefully it's helpful:[/i] [font=Arial][size=5][color=#0000ff]Use the On-Screen Keyboard[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=2]An on-screen keyboard is built into Windows XP.

| | What are your top AdSense countries in terms of eCPM? Mine are Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Ethiopia, Somalia, Iraq, Cuba, Iran, Nigeria, Nicaragua, Haiti ... Crazy, eh?!?! Some of them beat out the US by a factor of twenty! |
| | Uber or Lyft? ;) just curious. It's been my experience that this is the Windows or Mac question of yesteryear.  |
| | I've been in Palo Alto, CA for a long time now. Since October. When I left, I had Time Warner Cable at my apartment in NYC. Looks like I'll be going back to Spectrum with a whole new service line-up. What can I look forward to? Anyone use them? |
| | As I've been saying, especially recently, google hates forums, and we're not going to survive unless we do one of two things: 1. Be a community of people regularly engaging in discussions with each other, and NOT a support site that relies on a constant stream of question askers. In … |
| | In light of the discussions going on lately about being a discussion community, what do you think about rewording the Read / Answer / Ask in the navigation menu to Read / Answer / Discuss? Would newbies be more likely to click on Ask versus Discuss? But Discuss makes more … |
| | Is there a way (perhaps through Twitter's API / official stats, etc.) to see a daily graph of how many tweets linked to my domain?  |
| | iOS Safari Reader View is only available for forum threads on DaniWeb that have zero replies, and it shows the original post. Anytime there are replies, it gets confused and shows nothing. How can I semantically fix my html5 to correct this behavior? Not only is it good for accessibility, … |
| | Has Facebook peaked? Everyone with internet access already has an account. Younger kids prefer instagram (albeit fb owned) and snapchat, and Facebook is being seen as where your parents and grandparents go to share family photos. Will they pivot? Either way they're making a serious amount of money that could, … |
| | Do you think Google AdSense will ever come out with desktop page-level ads?  |
| | I'm working tonight on tightening up the CSS (reducing the amount of whitespace, margins, padding, etc.). Back in the day, this was super important because people wanted to have to do less scrolling, and see more content above-the-fold. Then monitors got bigger and bigger and resolutions got higher and it …  |
| | For as awesome and popular as jQuery is, why is jQuery UI so buggy and poorly maintained? *Frustrated*  |
| | With the new navigation menu and search functionality, are you finding stuff easier to access? |
| | I'm just laying here in bed browsing DaniWeb on my iPhone and I randomly clicked a link to the RSS feed. An iOS dialogue box popped up saying it was going to open in the News App. Then the Apple News app opened and it proceeded to tell me that … |
| | We use the usersgent to determine if you are a mobile browser and, if you are, we show you full page AdSense ads and don't load some JavaScript functionality. Can this get us in trouble with google for cloaking? Especially since some intrusive ads are shown with some useragentd but … |
| | I'm trying to create a new version of Dazah's API to be fully RESTful. To that end, I'm following the article at: http://www.vinaysahni.com/best-practices-for-a-pragmatic-restful-api I understand that it's bad practice to have endpoints that are verbs, and you should always use nouns. But what would an endpoint look like to join … |
| | How can I do a bulk insert of rows but only if specific combinations of columns don't already exist? Those columns are not unique to the table. (Otherwise I could easily use INSERT IGNORE). Rather, I just need this to happen for one particular SQL query. |
| | I've changed our search functionality to be controlled in-house again and no longer use the Google search API. Let me know your thoughts. |
| | I was impressed when I logged into Google Analytics and noticed that instead of sampled data I was presented with a drop down menu where I could choose if I cared more about accuracy or speed. I was then thoroughly less impressed when I selected to focus on accuracy and … |
| | I'm thinking of creating a new feature to our chat in which users can share a code editor, which would update in realtime. Does anyone see a use to this? |

| | I have an InnoDB table called `articles_read` with fewer than 20,000 rows in it. It consists of 3 columns: member_id article_id timestamp There are two indexes: A unique index on (member_id, article_id) and a regular index on (timestamp). It is read from fairly more than it is written to, and … |
| | Hey guys ... Over the last year or so that I've been hard at work with Dazah, I've received multiple requests from people offering to help. I am now in *way* over my head, and I would be eternally grateful for anyone who might be able to offer up their … |
| | I'm excited I just discovered a way to remove unused MySQL indexes and I wanted to share it with you guys. I'm following the tutorial here: https://www.percona.com/blog/2012/06/30/find-unused-indexes/ We happened to have already been using a Percona-fork of MySQL. It just so happens that Percona has been our database consultants for … |
The End.
